decorative tiles

Ceramic wall accents

Decorative tiles are tiles designed primarily for visual appeal rather than purely functional purposes.

They feature patterns, colors, glazes, or textures that add aesthetic interest to walls, floors, backsplashes, or other surfaces.

The term distinguishes ornamental tiles from plain utilitarian ones: The kitchen backsplash featured hand-painted decorative tiles from Portugal.
